Dividends
The Company established its mid-term financial targets through the Board of Directors’ resolution on August 11, 2022, under the agenda of “Group Mid-term Strategic Establishment.” These targets included a ROE of 10.5%, ROTCE of 12.0%, and a CET1 ratio of 12.0%.
Subsequently, on February 8, 2024, through the disclosure of cash dividends and dividends in kind, the Company temporarily raised the CET1 ratio target to 13.0%, considering regulatory changes. The Company also communicated its intent to reassess the financial targets after further reviewing regulatory impacts.
Following this, on May 9, 2024, the Board of Directors conducted a review and discussion on the mid-term financial targets. Based on this, additional discussions on July 16, 2024, and a resolution on July 26, 2024, led to the establishment of a Corporate Value-up Plan. The Company has set 2027 as the target year for achieving the following key objectives:
- Achieve an ROE of 10% and ROTCE of 11.5%, while maintaining a CET1 ratio of at least 13%
- Expand shareholder return ratio up to 50% through an accelerated shareholder return policy
- Enhance per-share value by reducing the total number of outstanding shares by 50 million shares
To achieve these goals, the Company has outlined the following implementation methodologies:
- Enhancing capital efficiency, creating growth opportunities, and setting tasks to improve ROE
- Establishing and operating the ROTCE-ROC value chain
- Pursuing a consistent and swift shareholder return policy, with a flexible execution strategy based on PBR stages.
The Company will continue to monitor, evaluate, and communicate any updates or modifications to this plan through Board discussion, reports, and resolutions. The full version of the plan can be accessed on Shinhan Financial Group’s website at www.shinhangroup.com)
Pursuant to Article 165-12(Special Provisions on Profit Distribution) of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, an amendment was made on January 21, 2025, allowing the Board of Directs to determine the quarterly dividend record date, which was previously set at the end of March, June, and September.
In line with this amendment, the Board of Directors has pre-determined the dividend record dates for Q1, Q2, and Q3 of 2025 to enhance investors’ predictability of dividend payments. These quarterly dividend record dates will take effect after the approval of the amendment to Article 59-2(Quarterly Dividends) of the Articles of Incorporation, which is scheduled for approval at the 24th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on March 26, 2025.
2025 Quarterly Dividend Record Dates and Expected Payment Dates

| Q1 2025 | May 2, 2025 | May 30, 2025 |
| Q2 2025 | August 1, 2025 | August 29, 2025 |
| Q3 2025 | November 4, 2025 | November 28, 2025 |
Note) The dividend amount for each quarter will be determined at the Board meeting held before each respective record date. The expected payment dates may subject to change based on consultations with relevant institutions.
On February 6, 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to distribute a Q4 dividend of KRW 540 per share, bringing the total annual dividend to KRW 2,160 per share. Additionally, the Company achieved a total shareholder return ratio of 40.2%, marking a 4.2 percentage point increase from the previous year.

The Company remains committed to a consistent and accelerated shareholder return policy, focusing on equalized quarterly cash dividends and treasury share cancellation. By maintaining a stable capital ratio and executing a disciplined and differentiated capital management strategy, the Company will continue its efforts to enhance shareholder value.
